Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Creatio guides all people to encounter the beauty of creation and the Creator. We lead transformative experiences to restore relationships with ourselves, with others, and with nature, and fundamentally with God.

  • pilgrimage and Outdoor Adventure - As Denver Archbishop Samuel Aquila wrote, Creatio promotes activities in nature with young people as a way to help them encounter Jesus, who so often withdrew himself into the wilderness and prayed (Luke 5:16). By bringing people into nature and allowing them to experience the beauty of creation, Creatio has been able to lead people to an interior transformation and communion that follows a renewal of self, the reception of identity, the healing power of silence, the gift of others in friendship, of communion itself. Todays young adults are flocking to the outdoors to escape the everyday grind, and they are interested in participating in personalized, curated experiences. From camping to pilgrimage; backpacking to hut trips, the Creatio experience is a welcoming and approachable invitationto younger generations, in particularto explore that inescapable desire for God that is written in ourhearts.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 26 October 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
